31st October, 2011
Started off at 7:30 heading north. Stopped
for a brief breakfast at Bower’s Lock as another narrowboat was coming up the
lock. Arrived at Pyrford Marina, where we had lunch and took on water and
replaced our empty gas bottle with a full one (Kingsground had given us one
full and one empty bottle). Went into the Chandlery and bought three mooring
stakes with hooks and a third ‘armco’ hook (£60.70 including the gas). Also
paid for three nights mooring (£60). Moved MM to her mooring, backing her into
the slot. She does go backwards well!
Chris came down in her car and picked us up
to take us home.
9 miles and 8 locks – 4.3 hours
Total 153 miles and 84 locks – 80.4 hours
